I finally was reckless enough to use some of my precious handmade papers.I think this lovely brown paper on the covers is Nepalese. Spine is covered with dark brown book cloth. The binding itself is quite basic except for the construction of covers. (See Large bindings in Johnson's Manual of Bookbinding) Though this one isn't large. It's 6.6"x6.6"x0.9" (16,8x16,8x2,4cm). 192 vanilla colored pages with dark brown end papers.It took me almost a year to finish this. I'd sewn the book block when I was still in school. I remember having some plans about a full leather binding, but luckily I didn't have the time or energy to finish it. I like this book so much more than almost any full leather binding. But I do miss working with leather. I'll probably get my hands on some hides sooner or later, since we've got another bookbinding competition going on. I can't show pictures of that particular work in progress until May or June. I'll let you know what's generally going on with it every once in a while.
